TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Tuesdays, as we've mentioned before, aren't the busiest days for interviews, and today was certainly no different.

That's OK. We still found five newsworthy items to consolidate for your viewing pleasure after interviews with two Alabama players.

1. Junior cornerback Dee Milliner spoke for the team when he gave a figurative shrug of the shoulders in response to Alabama moving to No. 1 in both polls.

- “We’re
just not really worried about where we’re ranked in the polls right
now. We won our first game.
That’s really all this team has done. We’re
just focused on winning the next game, and the game after that. Just
focus week by week on the games we’ve got to play and try to win them
all."

2. Right guard Anthony Steen said this year's offensive line is better than last year's was at this point of the season.

- "Right
now we're still trying to work out some bugs, but we're
better now than we were last year. All we've got to do is keep getting
better."

3. It's wasn't luck that allowed Alabama to return two interceptions a long way Saturday.

- "We
practice that every day at practice," Milliner said. "Anytime somebody makes a play on
the ball we’re always coached to run down the sideline and try to get
everybody blocked back to the ball."

4. Milliner said there's plenty to respect about Western Kentucky.

- "They’ve
got a lot of great skill guys, a lot of returning starters on offense, I
think nine (back). So they’re probably a mature team, experienced, and
they’re going to know what they’re doing on the field."

5. Steen provided more clarity about his "shoe malfunction" during Saturday's first quarter.

- "I keep my shoes real tight, so when it comes off, I can't get it back
on. I had the trainer do it for me, and it took forever. Coach was
pretty (ticked) about that."
